A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

It's pretty true. I have some Army meals in my photo library.

Edit: Found some more

[–] [email protected] 64 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That’s one jucy plate of bread, green beans, lettuce with cum, and diarrhea. Accompanied by a glass of piss.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

The lemon drank was pretty good honestly!

Maybe it's because I grew up poor with a single parent who couldn't cook, but I thought that the Army food was great. When I got to AIT and could eat as much as I wanted, I realized that I had essentially been starving my entire life. I put on 19 pounds between starting basic and finishing AIT, when most people were losing dozens of pounds. I would eat 3000 calorie breakfasts, and then burn most of it off with an eight mile run.

the army food was great

me too. I was with the military for 6 months (it's obligatory in my country) and the food was delicious. Not just very nutritious and also healthy, but it really filled you, and made you feel good. Much better than what I got at home.

I don't think an 8 mile run burns 3000 kcal.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I did say "most of it". That was just to start the day. We'd often run again in the evening, lift weights, do pushups and sit-ups throughout the day, and do a full day of work. I was eating more than I was burning since I was able to put on muscle, but not by much, since my body fat percentage was low. The point of the story was that I had enough food to eat for the first time in my life thanks to the Army mess hall, and I thought it was great.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago

I would guess it's more like 1000 tops. Sorry, I just like to be precise and the number seemed off. Doesn't really matter to the story. I'm sure you're able to burn a lot calories during army training.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

3000 calories is what supply should be prepared to feed each trooper on station.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Legitimately looks like prison food. And you don't even get metal cutlery?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Thats how pretty much all food made in giant quantities for 1500+ people is gonna look. Looks like every cafeteria meal i have ever eaten.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah honestly aside from the poor broccoli that got boiled to death, most of those plates look decent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I love overcooked broccoli.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Looks a hell of a lot better than what they served to us at school on base when my dad was in the military.

In the late 90's they used to have this baked spaghetti that was served in little squares. They were too hard to eat unless you poured water on it and let it soak for a bit. You could throw them across the room or bang them on the table and they wouldn't lose their shape.

I'm pretty sure the elementary and middle schools just reheated yesterday's left overs from the chow hall.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Can you really compare military school food to school food though?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

It's institutional food - a restaurant can serve 1500+ people if they've prepared for it. For example, take a college cafeteria - the food usually isn't bad, even though it's made in massive quantities

Institutional food only comes into play when the institution takes the lowest bidder. Like most public school districts, prisons, and whenever else the state runs cafeterias directly

It's a small but very meaningful distinction

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

If prison food is as good as those photos make those meals look then I just figured out my retirement plan.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah I guess I just have low standards but that looks great...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Except for the slave labor, it does seem like a pretty good gig.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Depends where you're at. It's been more than a decade but the cooks at my dfac in Afghanistan told us prisoners get higher grade beef.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

bro, your mistake was eating the beef, instead of whatever the locals were making for themselves. there was always a long ass line for that shit, but it was always the best chow in the place.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Not enough time to stand in line. I was picking up chow for my whole unit and bringing it back so we didn't get to pick what we ate

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

Wym that looks delicious

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

Wtf that looks delicious, a little small portions but other than that it's fine

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Green beans look good

"Everything the body needs"

That last one is making a run for it :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Eh, I've eaten worse from gas stations.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I though they were careful about their diet and trained as athlete...

Is that really, really dark gothic chocolate cake?
